This is both an easy thread to reply to, and painful at the same time. I'll mention to that got away that still grieve me two that got away. The first one is an original US Property marked Government model 1911, dated 1943. I let that one slip through my fingers at a time when some family needs arose, so at least I don't feel quite so bad about that one because I was helping family. The other one, an HK P7M13 brand new in the box hurts a little more. That was at a time when I was getting into the "big Boomers" and traded it for a Freedom Arms 454. Still love the big Boomers for sure, so no complaints in that regard. But I doubt I'll ever find a new in the box ( or even a used one for that matter !) P7M13 again, that I can even come close to being able to afford.
